PROJECT | "365 Charming Everyday Things" Kicked Off in Paris in January 2012!
Launched in Paris, January 2012!
"365 Charming Everyday Things" Exhibition
Everyday items that resonate with Japanese life. We want more people, both in Japan and abroad, to truly understand their value and diversity. We want as many people as possible to use them. We want to convey the warmth of the maker's hands more intimately to the user.──With these thoughts in mind, the "365 Charming Everyday Things" project was launched.

A 19th-century hardware store warehouse transformed into the "365" daily goods shop!
Japan has so many wonderful things, and when you gather items you want to use every day, a vibrant way of life emerges.
"365 Charming Everyday Things" (San-roku-go) selects 365 items, one for each day, that embody Japanese wisdom, craftsmanship, and aesthetic sensibility. The project, part of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Cool Japan Strategy Promotion Program, features 149 participating companies (brands).
